What would be the last collaboration in the world you would imagine?

"Lloyd Webber keen to work with Eminem"

Andrew Lloyd Webber is desperate to team up with Eminem for a new stage show.
The musical maestro is keen to collaborate with the rapper on a new project - and believes the star's knack for songwriting would make for great musical theatre.
"I've got a lot of time for Eminem," Lloyd Webber told British magazine Heat.
"He writes great lyrics which are way ahead. I don't know him well but I have met him and I think he's very intelligent."

!! Brace yourselves then for "The Motherf***ing Phantom Ho Of The Opera"...

Really excited about the brand new PRINCE album to be "officially" released this coming Monday (23rd)!



I already have my hands on a copy of course (a UK friend sent me one of the FREE copies that were - controversially - given away there with a Sunday newspaper)... and ... WOW! Even better than last year's '3121' which I thought was his best album in many years... 'Planet Earth' sees Prince at his funky/jazzy/rocking best!

His record company in the UK of course (understandably) were quite unhappy about his move to have the album distributed for free a week before its release date, and have subsequently stated it's not going to be stocked in stores any more.
I read when asked Prince said he doesn't care about the sales or the charts anymore... he just cares about getting the music in the hands and to the ears of the people who want to hear it...
This made me think today - this was maybe a brilliant move on his part... his album may not see the charts or have a lot of "sales", but it will be in the hands of many people who might otherwise not have had it... Smart? I think so!

Wow! This photo by the French tourism site C'est So Paris is part of a series of ads to attract Londoners to their capital (and the 2007 Rugby World Cup there)...!

Update on the 'Boys...:

In July 2007 PET SHOP BOYS signed a new deal with Parlophone Records. They originally signed to the label in 1985 followed by a renegotiation in 1990. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe commented: “It’s over 20 years since we originally signed to EMI and we’re very happy to be continuing our relationship with them”.

Miles Leonard, Parlophone’s MD says: “What Pet Shop Boys are doing is unique. They continue to be at the vanguard of pop culture, constantly surprising and thrilling us with their every move. We are extremely pleased to have them on the label.”



And then the following: "There is some speculation that the fourth instalment of their Disco series, 'Disco 4', will be released in 2007. Neither Pet Shop Boys nor Parlophone have denied the story and New York DJ Colonel Ridge is believed to be remixing 'Integral' to promote the album."

This may explain why I saw 'Integral' on a future-releases schedule (for Sept. 10)... This could all be untrue, but I'll be SO happy if it's true... 'Integral' is really one of their best tracks!

Replied by Pet Shop Boy !
